Hi all, Dreamweaver here with some more questions. The first is several plant ID's. I think I may have figured them out on my own but want to be sure. So I will post pics of the plants in question along with what I think they are. Here we go :
MICROSORUM PTEROPUS (Java Fern) ???

LUDWIGIA BREVIPES ???100_0891.jpg100_0901.jpg
BACOPA ??? ( what kind ?)
100_0907.jpg
BACOPA SP. 'JAPAN' ???100_0905.jpg100_0906.jpg

Finally, I'd like to Know if anybody knows what this "growth" on the bottom side of the leaves on this Java Fern is ???

Is this part of the Java Fern, a different plant that has attached itself or maybe some kind of parasite ??? I've done a google search & can find no info on this, in text nor image form. Does anybody else have this on their plants ???

As always, thanks to all that offer some insight into any of the questions that I've posed today,

Looks more like Lysimachia nummularia.

BACOPA SP. 'JAPAN' ???
Rotala routundifolia

Java ferns produce plantlets on the underside of their leaves. What you are seeing are the roots of those plantlets. In a while you will see new leaves form on tiny rhizomes. Leave the plantlets on the mother plant, they will separate when they are more mature. You can remove them earlier but the plantlets will grow slower.

Thanks Nymsley. So I guess I am correct on the ID's of the others ?
I am very happy to hear that the Java Fern is doing well enough to be spreading already (I've had the plant for only a couple weeks).
